Scott Tracy Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Gain experience, how? No L plates here, no accompanied by a licences driver here. Drive around empty school yards? Not after next week, too many kids to knock over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweedledee2 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'll never forget the day I took my drivers exam. That morning, my Mother let me drive the family car, a 1963 Chrysler New Yorker to Bowling Green, Mo to take the drivers exam. There were about 10 people queued in the rotunda of the Pike Co Mo. Courthouse when we arrived and 2 examiners. I was calm upon arrival, but as someone my age had failed the exam and as it was getting closer to calling my name, the nerves kicked in. There was an older partially grey haired woman sitting with a early 30's woman with 2 small children, in the seats in front of my Mother and I. The examiner called out a name and the older woman arose. I knew I was next, so I went over to the doorway and watched the examiner walk around the car, checking that all the lights on the woman's vehicle were functional and then get in the passenger seat. Then the woman started backing from the diagonal parking space, straight into the side of a car passing behind her on the street. The examiner got out, walked around the front of the car all the while, writing on his clipboard. When he got to the drivers side window, he spoke briefly with her and handed her the failed exam receipt. I went back to my seat, telling my mom what had happened and the younger woman overheard and grabbed the 2 kids and was out the door. Then that same examiner came back inside and called my named. When it came time for me to back out, I made damn sure the traffic was clear. I passed the test with a score of 96. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah , One gets their experience After one gets their License ,Isn't that the way it works? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same car that she has just smashed into the wall with? Told by the same people that just failed her and fined her for not being able to drive? It really is unbelievable.

johnray Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) The driving instructor should be fined for putting the woman in danger. His only job is to stop cars from plowing into offices and he failed. Edited June 30, 2020 by johnray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid, illegal and fraught with danger. In an emergency, they stamp both feet and the engine overrides the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
